Another extra from the Times calling upon
Republicans not TO attend this meeting was read
by Major Hancock. why should there be no
Republican meeting?" added the Major
Next Major Hancock read the Times extra con-
tanning Dir. Rigdon's letter. in which Mr.. Rig
don says that in a conversation with Major Ham
cock the latter told him he could and would de-
feat Mr.. Webster the Republican candidate for
States Attorney.] MIR. Rigdon adds: "He said
he didn't care especially about the young man,
but his defeat would kill his father, whose heart
and soul were in that boy"
Major Hancock said he had never tried to beat
man by undetermined measures, and II he had,
.'wOuld he have uubosomed himself to an idiot
like George Rgdon ?" Major Hancock added he
did not believe Rgdon would father this card
and IL he did he denounced him as liar and a
coward. He had conversation with Mr.. Rigdon,
partly jocular and partly serious. He had said
that II ali the things said about the nominations
were true, Ned Webster ought to be defeated. =.
Rigdon said he did not like the nomination but
would support 1t.
Major Hancock said that whilst disliking Col.
Webster's political methods he had never uttered
an unkind word or had an unkind thought for
him personally. He had told Rigdon that Web
ster is wrapped up in his sons election and il we
can defeat him it will kill him politically and the
Republican party will be relieved of an incubus.
Major Hancocks speech has created a great
deal OF comment in the county, and the proceed
ings of the meeting generally were not such as
TO inspire our Republican friends with any
hope for success. A house divided against it
self must surely fall.

The Question to be Decided,

On Tuesday next the people of Maryland
will be called upon to decide whether they
will have their State government controlled
by Democrats or by Republicans. That is
tile point at issue. Let no voter lose sight
of it. Last week the preliminary contest
was held in Baltimore and the people there,
in an election that is acknowledged by every
unprejudiced man to have been fair and hon
orabel, decided in favor of Democratic rule.
The Republicans and Independents were so
confident of victory that they proclaimed in
advance that the result in Baltimore city
would show that Maryland is no longer Dem
ocratic and would foreshadow more disas-
trous defeat on Tuesday next They have
been disastrously defeated themselves by a
majority of $4,000, counting the votes of
white men alone. Their loud-mouthed abuse
of the city and State governments has at
racted the attention OF the win ole country to
Maryland politics, and the coming election in
Maryland is now regarded as indicating
whether the next administration will be
Democratic or Republican.
The Republican press of the North has
Joined hands with Republicans and Indepen-
dents here to overthrow the Democrats at the
coming election. Their object is plainly to
be seen. If Maryland can be made Republi-
can this year, Malone and his allies in Vir-
ginia will fight with renewed zeal to carry
that State for the Republican candidate for
President, next year. In short, Democratic
defeat in Maryland this year would encour-
age Republicans throughout the Southern
States. and with the aid of the large and
united negro vote in those States the solid
Democratic South might be broken. This is
the stake for which the Republicans are fight
ing.
The contest in which we are engaged is
purely one of principle. 1t is, shall Demo-
cratic principles and a Democratic policy of
economy an good government prevail in this
country, or shall we return to Republican
rule and all that is implied thereby. 1t has
been but a few years since the whole coun-
try stood aghast at the disclosure of the cor
ruption at Washington, in every branch Of
the public service, under Republican ad-
mnistration. The contrast under q Dem
ocratic President has been marked. The
Democratic party has proven itself the true
reform party of the nation and the State
Its projects are practicable, beneicent, honest
and open.
Let each voter ask himself which State of
affairs he prefers and vote accordingly In
spired by the example OF our Democratic
Chief Magistrate, who needs to have his
hands upheld by loyal and wise Democra-
cy, let us stand by our principles. be true to
0our party and to ourselves, then may we
hope to rejoice in victory and enjoy the
fruits thereof

For or Against a Convention.

In 1867, when the Democrats, with the aid
of other conservative citizens, were enabled
TO throw off the yoke of Republican oppres-
sion and misrule, r new constitution was
formed, TO take the place OF the war consti-
tuition made by the Republicans in 1864, I'M
der which three -fourths of the citizens of
Maryl md, including her most distinguished
and honored sons, were DISTINGUISHED. That
constitution of 1867 was the work of as able
a body of men as ever assembled in this State,
but being made while the echoes of civil war
were still ringing in our ears, aud while the
passions evoked by that war had not wholly
suhsded, it was regarded somewhat in the
light of an experiment, and accordingly a
provision was inserted in it that after the
lapse of twenty years the people of Mary
land should again have an opportunity of
saying whether it was adapted to their neces-
stiles or not.
Therefore the last Legislature provided
that vote shall be taken next Tuesday
whether convention shall be held 10 frame
q new Constitution or not. Public opinion
in the State is divided upon this question:
The Democratic party, in lis platform, very
properly left the matter to the judgment of
individual voters, merely pledging the party,
if convention is held under Democratic con-
troll, to secure in new Constitution better
means of equalizing taxation than now ex
lists, by putting all corporations upon the
same basis as individuals ard compelling
them TO pay their just share of public taxes
and also to provide for more perfect sys-
tenn OF registration and better election laws
for large cities.
The Republican party, on the other hand,
venlion. They denounced our present Con-
stituiion, when it was formed, as n disgrace
to the government aud a machine of oppres-
sion that ought not be allowed to exist, and
for twenty years past have not ceased to pour
abuse upon il. Their changed tactics war
lants the belief that the only thing that
would reconcile them to new Constitution
would be the privilege of making it them
selves
1t is claimed, also, by others who oppose
the call for constitutional convention, that
any necessary changes can be made without
the expense of convention, in the manner
provided in the Constitution itself
Every Democrat, therefore, is left free to
vote on this quest on ms he pleascs. 1t is not
made cardinal article Of Democratic faith,
and each voter should decide for himself
whether the advantages promised by the
friends of new Constitution are sufficient
to offset the expenses Of tie convention, or
whether we had better go on as we have
been doing and trust to succeeding Legisa.
lures to curb corporate power and cqualize
the burden of taxation.

Turn Ont and Vote the Straight
Ticket

The issue to be decided on Tuesday next
is one between the two great political parties
in this county and this State. Every Dem
ocrat will vote the Democratic ticket, not
alone because the nominees are his friends
but because they represent the principles
which he believes to be sound and right.
Cutting or scratching off the names of any of
the nominees is blow at the Democratic
party and any adherent of our party who alb
stains from voting and remains at home, is
giving half a vote to the Republicans. In
its recent election the city of Baltimore has
set us noble example Now on the eve of
the battle shall the Democrats of Hartford
prove recreant to their faith and fire upon
the old f-g which bears the inscription Of
jackson and Liberty?' Democrats turn out
in full force and render your party and its
nominees their full measure of support.

Prof. ]. II. Draper, President of the
Maryland Progressive Assembly (colored,)
was in Bel Air on Tuesday. The society has
issued an address to the colored voters in
which they recite the fact that for twenty
years the colored voters have been loyal allies
of the Republican party, constituting two
thirds of the voters of that party, and have
been used as machines for the advantage of
the white Republican leaders. The address
goes on to state that the Republicans have
done nothing for their colored allies and will
not promise to do anything for them, and
closes with an appeal 10 colored voters to ex-
ercise their independence and take no part in
the contest, or if they feel that they must
vote to vote for Jackson for Governor and
thus minister rebuke to tie white Re-
publican leaders that will serve to make
them recognize you as men, and not things,

No Trading.

1t is rumored and generally believed that
there be will more of that political sharp prac.
tice known as Grading" attempted at the
coming election 10 Hartford than is usual.
We warn all who may be tempted to engage
IN it that it Is what can never be counten-
anced, far less practiced, by any man of prin.
ciple and honor. Aside from the moral OBJ
liquity Of the thing, let Democrats be sure
they have nothing to gain thereby, and
we earnestly hope that no Democratic
voter will be so untrue to his party and
its principles as to be willing to sacrifice one
candidate, who from any cause Is not his
choice, for the supposed advantage of anoth-
er.
Democrats, make no trades whatever.
Let there be no interchange of so-called
"courtesies" with the enemy on the eve of
the contest which is of such vital importance
to the cause of good government in Mary
land. Support the entire ticket that has
been nominated. Let your personal griev-
ances, you have any, be generously and
loyalty set aside for the sake of the general
good, in the triumph of the grea. and true
principles of the Democratic party. Make
your fight in the party and not against it,
either by lukewarm support of the ticket or
by Grading" with the Republicans and thus
aiding them to defeat the cause which should
be dearer to us than any merely personal
aim, however pure and laudable in itself.
1t is the first duty of Democrats in Maryland
to sink all private ambitions and individual
claims, and stand firmly and decidedly by
the regular Democratic nominees. Let
demagogues and false prophets be sent
- the rear and let us stand together, should
er to shoulder, and we shall see the triumph
of our grand old party.

To W0rkinQmen.

The position of the Democratic party in
Maryland with regard TO the workingmen
was ably stated by Mr.. Bernard Carter, in
q speech in Baltimore, last week He said /:
Every true citizen is interested in the comfort
and happiness of the man who, by daily labor,
earns his daily bread. The interest OF the work.
ingman is with the Democratic party. To its
custody can be committed with safety aud assur-
ance their interests. Its record has been one of
honor in this respect Look at the Democratic
party in Maryland. What has II done for the
workingmen? 1t passed a law that employers of
girls should provide seats for them, and not COM
pei them to stand. 1t declared that certain
manufacturing interests should not be carried
on in the penitentiary: 1t gave laws remedial
of evils complained of by the sturdy miners who
dwell meath the shadows of the Aleganies. 1t
not long ago, when the car drivers and conduc-
tors of Baltimore city sent out their appeal for
redress, it was found to be the friend of the
workingman. In that great battle the Baltimore
Sun became the great advocate of the working
man, and the Democratic Legislature, needing
its advice, adopted the twelve-hour system. The
Democratic party has done all In its power to
benefit the workingmaD. 1t stands as an arbiter
between the greed of corporate power and the
rights of those who labor. 1t will resist all adj
vances of corporations and promote all legiti-
mate demands of the sons of toll. Be true to
Democracy. There is still great battle TO be
won. Repeat the verdict Of Wednesday last, and
delight the hearts of those who dwell in the Sis
ter States Of the South, and make your Demo-
cratic brethren in the North tremble with joy.'
